In this case not "small" but "short" ;)
This series is so short, even episodes are short, just barely ten or so minutes long and that is the only minus I could list against this drama.
I thing that casting was just perfect, I was so surprised about the quality of acting, especially Xu Tao's and Edward Chen's, the way they conveyed all the emotions just shook me. I was so impressed with Edward, he had a hard nut to crack as he was the one that found himself falling for this clingy boy, as an honest but not really open teenager he made my heart warm with his awkward but sweet answers. I love how he never denied anything and he was serious about his love the same way he was serious about everything in his life and he took responsibilities for his every decision. He might have committed a few mistakes but he never denied them. I'm so happy he stayed true to himself in the end. Such a faithful lover is the dream of every person.
The story might be a little bit confusing in the first 2-3 episodes but do not worry there is a closure to everything and the ending is worth every single minute spend watching this series!
Story might be quite simple but we can not expect much more because this series is so short. But execution and simple but satisfying plot line full of meaningful messages will leave u full and satisfied after completing the drama.
I love how they try to bring our attention to problems of bullying and depression, the fact that sometimes even if people ask for help unfortunately are left alone ignored and this should change!
I'm so happy that Xiang Wan and Zhi Chen show us that our life is in our hands and we are in charge of every decision and so we should grab our chance for happiness ! It doesn't matter how old we are, we can still have a chance for a fresh start!
